Web Design Book Reviews

August 23rd, 2010

Last week, I read two books I’ve been intending to read for awhile.

Neuro Web Design: What makes them click?

Neuro Web DesignHonestly, I picked this book up on a whim. Written by Susan M. Weinschenk, Ph.D., Neuro Web Design attempts to tie in various web design concepts into psychology. While a lot of the web design concepts discussed are well known, this book does do a great job of using psychological studies to back-up a lot of those core design principles. While the title may sound daunting, it’s a fairly brisk read. Down the road, I’ll be able to point to specific psychological studies that back-up a web design or usability choice I might want to make. Also, it’s helpful knowing why, from a scientific standpoint, people make certain choices when browsing the web.

Rocket Surgery Made Easy: The Do-It-Yourself Guide to Finding and Fixing Usability Problems

First off, if you haven’t read Steve Krug’s other book, Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability, stop reading this now and buy it. It’s one of the two or three best web related books I’ve ever read. » continue reading Web Design Book Reviews
